BrianBM Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Generally speaking, do states that have a dedicated shotgun season for deer allow smoothbores, muskets even, at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Bigdeal Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 yup, you can use a smooth bore during deer season in NJ....been huntin' with flinters / smooth bores since '90 exclusively. "Law enforcement’ is not something sovereign citizens seize from police officers. It is a societal function that citizens delegate to civil police. In so doing, we do not abdicate our own sovereignty, nor our duties as citizens. Ultimate responsibility is still ours. When those we hire as our “Protectors” are either unwilling or unable to perform that function at the critical moment, there is no law, nor standard, that says we cannot perform it for ourselves"........

Mummichog Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) In PA, we don't have a "shotgun" season. We have a general deer season where all firearms are legal. In some areas, that is "shotgun" season, some it is archery and some it is anything goes, from rifles on down. The 2 weeks after Thanksgiving is our general deer season. Any weapon that is legal for the area is legal during that season. So, yes, muskets could be used during that season, except in the archery-only areas.
